Default Marijuana and a trip to the hospital!

It's not what you think However, it's a pretty cool story.

The past few days, my blood pressure has been shooting up and giving me some chest pains. Finally, yesterday, I had some terrible chest pain, my face began to become numb, mostly on the left side, along with the left arm, and a not-too-bad shortness of breath

So, I called my dad and he drove me to the hospital. Before I left, I measured my blood pressure and it was 145-150/100-ish. On the way down, I puffed on a small joint I had because it tends to lower my blood pressure. By the time I got to the hospital, my heart rate was only slightly less (it was anywhere between 100 and 140 at times), but my blood pressure had dropped 20-30 points, which was terrific. I was able to breathe a little better, but the pain was still there to a great degree. It wasn't made worse, but it wasn't better either.

Yes, I do realize it was somewhat reckless to light up a joint at that point in time, but in doing so, I was able to lower my blood pressure and calm down a bit. When the doctor asked me about it, he told me he wouldn't recommend anyone doing that, but it was, to some degree, a very helpful aid in quickly reducing my BP, and if we weren't in Georgia, he'd prescribe it as an alternative to more harmful medications. After a little analysis, he administered some painkillers and anticoagulants and I was insanely relieved.

After some tests, which included a CT scan and ultrasound of the heart, he told me my heart was fine and that wasn't the problem, which soothed my ears greatly. However, I have a small clot on the very side of my chest that was causing the trouble it seemed. I'm on blood thinners and aspirin once daily now for a while, and I'm very, very glad to be home and very blessed to have this wonderful plant.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, either, but it's always lowered my BP to some degree, plus, it makes a cool story to tell. Now I've just got to rip these sticky bastards off my chest

Its never had any effect on lowering my blood pressure. You be careful with that blood clot.

Fish oil tablets are supposed to be good for high blood pressure with lowering cholestrol and stuff like that, helps with the arteries and stuff. You can buy them in a health store. They are tablets with the oil inside them so you don't taste the fish oil or anything when you swallow them but you might taste it a little if you burp like a half hour later or something. I don't have high blood pressure problems or anything but I take 2 of the tablets at breakfast lunch or dinner. You can take up to 6 a day but I usually just take 2 with a meal maybe once a day. When my dad and his brothers and sisters were kids they didn't have it in tablets, my grandfather would make them take a tea-spoon of that stuff raw.

Good to hear that your heart is fine.

Me and you have to campaign in Georgia for medical merry-ja-wana.

We'll probably be the last state to get it.

That's all of the small ones and about half of the big ones... almost hurt worse than the 20-gauge straw they IV'd me with.
